first time every staying in...

Liked: The hostel is located right in the walled old city. Walking distance to everything in the old city and the river. The front desk staff was super friendly. The room was large and airy. Everything was kept so clean. COVID safety measures in place. loved the large kitchen and seeing the small groups of people cooking and eating together. (it looks like there was a cafe on site, but closer for now for COVID measures)
Disliked: my friend and i had a private room and wished we had had at least a coffee maker in the room. the shower was a bit small. it was one of those corner showers that should be a perfect square, but the hostel chose the type that the one corner it chopped off, so when you lift your arms to wash your hair or bend over, some part of your body is going to be pressing up against the shower walls.it can get a little noisy with it being right in the heart of the tourist area, and we didn't think about this before booking. NOT the hostel's fault at all.
